They've been very responsive to my call and seem to know what they're talking about. It's small and not getting in the way. You have the choice of the wrist or around your neck or on your clothing. It's just easy to wear and use.

I've had to use it twice and they've come within ten minutes. Both times they were excellent, the ambulance, the whole thing. I wear the wrist one but I think I'd much rather have the one that hangs on my neck. They've been right there when I needed them and even when I wanted to check it. They are very kind and excellent.

I did use it on several occasions and I was very pleased. I had the ambulance that came. They took me to the hospital. They were very good. They were right on the ball. They'd come immediately. They're very pleasant and they do everything to help you. I had a broken piece and they sent me new ones with no problem.

They are always fast to respond, fast to send help over. When I was at work they would call me to tell me that my husband fell and that they were sending an ambulance to my house and then they would call the paramedics to find out my husband's status and let me know.

I had a severe attack and told them that I needed an ambulance, and they got one to me within 7 minutes. It usually takes at least 30 when I call 911.

I needed some type of system that could help me in case of fall or injury because I live alone. They have been able to answer all my questions that I've had and to assist me to any way that I needed. When I went out of town recently, I didn't know if I should take the entire equipment with me not, but I took it with me and during the process, I lost it. Customer Service was so good and they were able to tell me exactly where it was. I hadn't lost it, but left it in my car. With the info that they have they can get your family aware of what's going on with you.

I like the system, but it's a little too sensitive. I put it on the other day, and all of a sudden everything went off and they were asking me if I needed an ambulance. Now I'm very careful when I take it off or put it down because I don't want to alert anyone.

I got it because it can be used anywhere in the country as long as you take your monitor with you. They've been pretty good so far. I have both the wristband and the necklace, so I can wear any of them if I want to. I've only ever used it by mistake. One day I was out when I leaned against something and apparently I pushed the necklace's button by mistake. The life squad came out right away, but I was alright. It costs me about $120 every 3 months but it's worth every penny.

My wife and I are old enough that we're beginning to worry about falling and such. We trip easily and my wife has actually fallen and broken her neck, so we decided to get it. We've had it for about 4 months and we wear the buttons 24 hours a day. The button is very sensitive but I'm really happy about that. They're really good about getting to us if we have an emergency or even if the alarm goes off on its own. I've turned on the main machine before and they still called to make sure we were alright.

My daughter picked it for me. I mostly have it so her and my kids in general will have peace of mind. Otherwise they wouldn't let me live alone. I've never used it on purpose, only by accident. That's mostly because the one that goes around your neck is very temperamental and goes off too easily. They always respond right away when that happens though and they're very polite and nice.
